tion to Washington territory and Oregon to
 be as heavy as at the present time. The Pa
 cifc coast boom began in California and is
 extending north to the international line.
 The class of people who are taking up land
 in the north are better than the average of
 past seasons. They all have money; not for
 tunes, but sufficient to keep them independ-
 ent on the farm for two years or more. There
 are no pauper foreigners among them to
 make themselves burden. Most of the
 people who go north engage in stock raising
 or dairy farming. Washington territory is
 considered unapproachable as dairy farm-
 ing country, and the government and rail
 road lands are being taken up rapidly. The completion of the California and Oregon line will assist greatly in populating northern California and southern Oregon, and will institute boom that will have no precedent. Ten years ago there were $500 men prac- plomas. To-day there are but 476. This improved condition is due to the medical
 practice act of 1877. According to the late board of health, when the law went in- | to effect, there were 7S travelling doctors visiting different portions of the State, who, | by their fraudulent promises to cure, took 1 from the sick, afflicted and credulous not ! less than $225, ,000 annually. These charla- l tans and frauds obtained their money | through the worst kind of fraudulent pre- l lenses, many times taking the last cent the I unfortunate victims had, when they knew l they could not benefit them. There are l thousands of instances in that State where parties not having ready money were induced
 in many cases and frequently to give their
 notes, only to find them later in the hands of
 a merciless collector. Many of these quacks
 had their headquarters in other States, from which they made periodical visits into Hi
 nois to fleece the citizens of that State.
 There are only five of that class remaining who are allowed to swindle the public, and 1 these have hitherto been shielded by the ten
 years prior practice clause of the medical practice act

Students, Stories.

LFrom the St. James Gazette.l
 Among stories of examlnations, those that are most popular with the students are told at the expense of the examiners. We have two capital ones at Edinburgh. According to the first an examiner had made himself obnoxious by warning the students against putting their hats on his desk. The univer- sity in the Scottish capital is remarkable for scarcity of cloak-rooms, and in the excite ment of examination hats are, or used to be, flung down anywhere. This examiner an- nounced one day that if he found another
 hat on his desk he would rip it up. Next day no hats were laid there when the stu
 dents assembled. Presently, however, the examiner was called out of the room. Then some naughty undergraduate slipped from his seat, got the examiners hat and placed it on the desk. When the examiner re-entered the hall every eye was fixed on him. He ob- served the hat and gleam of triumph shot across his face. "Gentlemen," he said, ''1 told you what would happen if this occurred again" Then he took his penknife from his pocket, opened it and blandly cut the hat in pieces amidst loud and prolonged applause. They do say that there were other examiners in the room at the time who could have warned him had they chosen.
 Another story illustrates the fact that the student may sometimes be too much for his examiner. Soon after the examination opened he was observed looking around him stealthily if meditating guile. From the other end of the hall the examiners watched ] him narrowly; so did number of students. He took handkerchief from his pocket and spread it over his knee. Every few minutes he lifted up the handkerchief and looked be- meath it and then wrote with renewed vlgor.
 It seemed clear case of copying, so an ac- tive examiner bounced upon him. The stu dent whisked the handkerchief into his pock- ct. ssCome, MT. -," said the examiner,
 ssI must see your handkerchief" Certain ly, sir,'' said the student, blandly showing it to him. Then the pocket was searched with | no result. The student began to grin and
 then the other competitors, and then the other examiners followed suit. Obviously it ! was practical joke, though at the time no

UNJUST REHABILITATION.

The decision of the interstate Commerce
 commission in the of the Providence
 Coal company against the Providence and
 Worcester Railroad company is attracting
 good deal of attention, for it concerns com
 mon complaint against railroad companies.
 From the evidence given it appears that
 the Providence and Worcester Railroad com
 pany offered freight rate for coal lower by
 ten cents ton than it's regular rate to any
 coal merchant who should ship or receive
 more than thirty thousand tons in one year.
 It was testified that the general freight agent declared that the company's purpose in mak- ing this offer was to 'squelch the small dealers along the road" It was intimated that this policy had been adopted for the benefit of one coal merchant, and it was serted that a result of it's adoption this merchant had been able to take 200, 900 tons out of 337 900 tons carried by the company last year. The complaining company assured | the commission that the net profit upon coal ! at wholesale where it does business is from l five to ten cents ton. A rebate of ten cents ton, therefore, enables the dealer who enjoys it to drive his competitors out of the 1 field.
 The commission decided that this was an unjust discrimination within the meaning of 1 the law. And in it's decision said: It cannot l be supported by the circumstance that the offer is open to all; for though made to all, it l is not possible that all should accept. More over, in testing such discrimination, we
 must consider the principle by which it must
 be supported, and the principle that would l support 30,000-ton limitation would sup- port one of 50,000 or 100000 equally well; 1 the quantity named would be arbitrary in
 any case. It might easily be made high
 as practically to be open to the largest dealer only. A railroad company, if allowed to do I SO, might in this way hand over the whole l trade on it's road in some necessary article of
 commerce to a single dealer; for it might at will make the discount equal to or greater
 than the ordinary profit in the trade, and l competition by those who could not get the discount would obviously be then out of the 1 question. The injustice would be equally manifest if several dealers, instead of one, l were able to accept the offer. railroad l company has no right by any discrimination not grounded in reason to put any single l dealer-whether large dealer or a small dealer-to any such destructive disadvan- l tage.
 A few such decisions as this will give the people confidence in the commission. Its action in this case is clearly sound and for l the public benefit

A Needed improvement

To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER:
 The city's center is the public square made up of our two greens, beautiful for situation, the pride and joy of our people. They are ftly and handsomely enclosed with grace- full iron fence supported by comedy granite posts. The enclosure is admirable, but it ought not unnecessarily obstruct travel and crossing from the four streets surrounding. These are the central thoroughfares of our city. A person on either of these streets is obliged to go half the length of one of the greens before he can enter to cross it. In short, besides the diagonal paths, two more straight paths on each side of each green like the straight Court street crossing are needed. Much time and distance will thus be saved and the freest convenient use of our public square can be obtained.

one understood how practical. The crest fallen examiner returned to his desk and soon afterward the student took small book from his pocket, spread it open on his knee and seemed to resume his old tactics. The fear of being ''sold again" kept the examine rs from interfering this time, but when they looked at his paper subsequently it was seen that his answers had come from a scrib. !" Whether his ingenuity availed him in the end I cannot say. A better story, in the opinion of examiners, is one of student who made a miniature crib for himself, meaning to smuggle it up his sleeve into the examination room. He forgot it, however, and his mother, finding it in his room, hur. ried to the university with it and sent it by messenger to the examiner, asking him to give it at once to her son, as she knew it was something very important.

 The recent school elections in Utah devel- oped some independent voting among the Mormons. One young saint in Salt Lake City walked to the polls with Gentle ticket
 conspicuous in his hand. A good brother
 pulled his sleeve and told him he was making
 mistake. He replied promptly that he was not; that he knew what he was doing. In another ward there was 8 division of the
 house, and young saint went over to the Gentle side When told that he was in the wrong crowd he answered: ''No, am going to train on this side from now on." Slavery will soon be entirely abolished in Brazil. The parliament Of the empire is now considering a bill providing for the final stages of emancipation, and it will pass. It declares all slaves registered under the act of 1871 to be free. But they must serve their
 masters two years more, being paid, however, | and being cared for. Moreover, they can re-
 deem themselves for about $200 each. Slaves | fifty years old or more need not thus serve their masters. and if one of 8 married couple happens in some way to free himself the | other also becomes free. The registered num- | Der of slaves now in the empire is about | 1,20O,0 900.
